Standing with ALEC

Let’s stipulate: Activists on the left are free to exercise their rights of speech and assembly to boycott businesses whose politics they oppose. Conversely, activists on the right are free to exercise the power of their pocketbooks and refrain from supporting businesses that shun their values.

So, what are you waiting for, conservatives? There are coordinated shakedowns taking place right now that involve some of America’s most prominent companies who’ve chosen to surrender to progressive bullying and race-card opportunism. Silence is complicity.

On Tuesday, McDonald’stold liberal magazine Mother Jones that the company had “decided to cut ties with ALEC, the corporate-backed group that drafts pro-free-market legislation for state lawmakers around the country.”

That’s the minority community activist outfit founded by former Obama green jobs czar and radical Occupy Wall Street supporter Van Jones. Since leaving the White House, Jones has been occupied with railing against capitalism while cashing in on book sales from corporate media appearances.

Conservatives lost a great battle to the Left last week. While they patted themselves on the back for a short-term win against Hilary Rosen and co-opting the Democrats’ “War on Women,” they were too distracted running victory laps to defend one of their strongest and most effective weapons in the war to preserve liberty and promote the free market.

ALEC, which works to promote the principles of free markets, limited government, federalism, and individual liberty, drafted model legislation in 2005 for the “Stand your Ground” law (also know as the “Castle Doctrine”) that was passed in Florida. The legislation was intended to help victims defend themselves from attackers.

Tips for using this site: Especially for mobile users, it isn't purely obvious that you can scroll the whole page up/down if you are holding your finger/mouse to the far right of the screen, and you can scroll up/down within the RebelMouse embed where you see the news stories - just like the Twitter embeds.
